Tree Canopy Loss in Philadelphia

Return to MUSA 801 Projects Page
This project was completed as part of the Master in Urban Spatial Analytics Spring 2021 Practicum instructed by Ken Steif, Michael Fichman, and Matt Harris. We thank our instructors as well as Dexter Locke and Lara Roman from the United States Forest Service for their feedback and help navigating the data.

This document is intended to help other researchers replicate a study of tree canopy loss linked to spatial risk factors. We first introduce our motivation, followed by data exploration and analysis, and finally predictive modeling. We include hyperlinks thorough our document and in the appendix for reproducibility. Our hope is that this document and our policy tool can help tree planting agencies, tree advocates, and the interested public understand the forces contributing to tree canopy loss in Philadelphia and imagine different scenarios for our tree canopy based on construction.

Introduction

Between 2008 and 2018, Philadelphia lost more than 1000 football fields’ worth of tree canopy.

Most of this loss occurred in historically disenfranchised communities. In response, the City of Philadelphia has set important milestones for conserving and increasing the current tree canopy in the city. In this analysis, we model tree canopy loss in Philadelphia and identify risk factors. We additionally assess the city’s progress on the goals and how this varies across neighborhoods.

Why does the tree canopy matter?

Tree canopy is defined as the area of land which, viewed from a bird’s eye view, is covered by trees. Trees offer important benefits to cities including mitigating the urban heat island effect, absorbing stormwater runoff, a habitat for wildlife, and aesthetic and recreational benefits. In addition, trees are a preventative public health measure that improves mental health, increases social interactions and activity, and reduce crime, violence, and stress. A 2020 study published in The Lancet found that if Philadelphia reaches 30% tree canopy in all of its neighborhoods, the city would see 403 fewer premature deaths per year. However, despite the importance of trees to the city’s health, appearance, and ecology, trees are regularly removed for reasons ranging from construction to homeowners’ personal preference.

Philadelphia’s Tree Canopy Goals

1: 30% Tree Canopy in each neighborhood by 2025

Philadelphia (under a previous mayoral administration) set the goal of achieving 30% tree canopy coverage in all neighborhoods by 2025. Currently, the citywide average is 20%, although this is highly uneven. More affluent neighborhoods in the northwest that have many parks and large lawns have much higher tree canopy than industrial neighborhoods in south and north Philadelphia which are full of impervious surfaces. The neighborhoods which have lower canopy coverage tend to be historically disenfranchised, lower income, and predominantly communities of color. This is an environmental justice problem. Neighborhoods like Philadelphia’s Hunting Park have a much lower ratio of tree canopy to impervious surfaces than the citywide average, resulting in higher temperatures during summertime heat waves and poorer air quality.

2: 1 acre of tree canopy within a 10 minute walk for all residents

13% of Philadelphia’s residents are considered under-served by green space, meaning that they live more than a 10 minute walk away from at least 1 acre of green space. The city has therefore set a goal of ensuring that all residents are no more than 10 minutes away from at least 1 acre of green space by 2035. To this end, the city is prioritizing adding green space in historically disenfranchised neighborhoods and making efforts to green spaces in schools and recreation centers.

Planning Tool: Canopy View

Using this information, we created a predictive scenario policy tool which displays future tree canopy loss under three construction scenarios. The general population and tree advocates can use our tool to understand the potential impact of construction on the tree canopy.

Data and Methods

In this analysis, we use the following data:

Independent variable: Tree Canopy LiDAR data consisting of canopy polygons marked as loss, gain, or no change from 2008-2018 OpenDataPhilly

Neighborhood social attributes: 2018 American Community Survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau

• Construction
  
• Parcels
  
• Streets
  
• Tree-related 311 requests
  
• Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)
  
• Hydrology
  
• Zoning
  
• Health outcomes

Unit of analysis: the fishnet cell

We use fishnet grid cells as our unit of analysis to take advantage of high resolution spatial data such as 311 service requests. Below, we create a fishnet cells of 1615 feet, or around the size of a city block. We then subtract fishnet cells that are more than 20% conservation easement and/or park space to isolate land that may be protected and experience different tree canopy loss processes. All in all, we have 1411 fishnet cells representing Philadelphia.

Exploratory Analysis

Our analysis in the following sections is guided by the following questions:

1. What does Philadelphia’s tree canopy look like?
2. Where are neighborhoods at with achieving the 30% goal?
3. How does tree canopy change vary by demographic?
4. How do current patterns of tree canopy coverage and loss reflect disinvestment as a result of redlining and older planning practices?
   

1. Existing tree canopy and tree canopy change

Philadelphia’s 2018 Canopy

Northwest, West, and Northeast Philadelphia have the most tree canopy. In North and South Philadelphia as well as Center City, tree canopy is more sparse.

ggmap(base_map) +
  geom_sf(data = ll(FinalFishnet), colour = "transparent", inherit.aes = FALSE, aes(fill = pctCoverage18Cat))+ 
     scale_fill_manual(values = palette7,

  theme(plot.title = element_text(size = 30, face = "bold"), 
        legend.title = element_text(size = 12)) +  mapTheme()

Tree Canopy Change

Surprisingly, tree canopy loss and gain exhibit similar spatial patterns. Both percent gain and loss are highest in a few neighborhoods in South Philadelphia and in the Northeast. While this seems counter-intuitive, this is because these neighborhoods have the least tree canopy, therefore each individual tree gained or lost has a greater overall impact.

v <- ggmap(base_map) +
  geom_sf(data = ll(FinalFishnet), colour = "transparent", aes(fill = pctLoss), inherit.aes = FALSE)+

       subtitle = "Tree Canopy Lost From 2008 - 2018 / Total Tree Canopy Coverage in 2008")+
  theme(plot.title = element_text(size = 30, face = "bold"), 
        legend.title = element_text(size = 12)) +  mapTheme()

        legend.title = element_text(size = 12)) +  mapTheme()

grid.arrange(ncol=2,
v + scale_fill_distiller(palette = "YlOrRd", direction = 1, name = "% Loss"),
Z + scale_fill_distiller(palette = "YlGr", direction = 1, name = "% Gain"))

                       right = FALSE)

This is confirmed when we plot the log-transformed percent tree canopy and percent tree canopy gained/lost for each fishnet cell. We see a negative relationship, meaning that fishnet cells with more trees experience less percentage change.

    plotTheme()


grid.arrange(gain, loss, change, top = "Tree Canopy Change and Existing Tree Canopy", ncol = 2)

Looking at the city as a whole, we see that the majority of fishnet cells experienced low net loss, while a similar amount of cells experienced either substantial loss or gain.

                      breaks = c(-Inf, 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30), 
                       labels = c("Reached Goal", "0-6% Under", "6-12% Under", "12-18% Under", "18-24% Under", "24-30% Under"),

Below, we see that the neighborhoods farthest from 30% tree canopy are in South Philadelphia and parts of Center City. These neighborhoods are all along the Delaware River. This may mean that waterways and hydrology are a risk factor. The neighborhoods which meet this goal are largely in Northwest Philadelphia.

We also see that most neighborhoods experienced a net loss in tree canopy. Interestingly, most tree gain was experienced in South Philadelphia and Center City, in neighborhoods which have low existing canopy.

grid.arrange(goalProg, netChange, ncol=2)

A closer look: neighborhood-level tree canopy change

To better understand tree canopy change patterns in these neighborhoods, we analyze more closely a neighborhood that has reached the goal and one that is substantially below the goal. In both, the bulk of the tree canopy did not change between 2008 and 2018. However, when we look closer, we see that tree canopy loss and gain are much more clustered in Upper Roxborough, which meets the goal. Here, it appears that some of the loss is related to tree removal along an entire street or throughout a property, whereas in Richmond, tree canopy change has been more piecemeal and scattered. This suggests that we will need to look at land use and streets as potential risk factor variables related to tree canopy loss.

3. How does tree canopy change vary by demographic?

Tree canopy loss, like other urban environmental issues, has deep implications for equity. Low income communities and communities of color are more likely to be in places with less tree canopy. Therefore, we explore demographics variables’ correlation with tree canopy gain, loss, net change, and coverage. Surprisingly, demographic variables have little correlation with existing tree canopy or tree canopy change. This is likely because they are accounted for by neighborhood fixed effects.

4. What other factors influence tree canopy loss?

As previously mentioned, land use appears to have a correlation with tree canopy. A 2019 report suggests that the most trees were removed next to streets and on residential property. This proves true in our analysis: the top two land use types that experienced tree canopy change are residential and transportation.

We also look at redlining boundaries from the Homeowner’s Loan Corporation (HOLC). As trees take decades to grow, the spatial configuration of tree canopy and likely their change is influenced by historical planning decisions. In 1937, HOLC created “redlining” maps which rated neighborhoods’ desirability in four categories. They rated neighborhoods with residents of color as the least desirable and majority-white neighborhoods as the most desirable. As a result, the low-ranked neighborhoods experienced disinvestment and greater difficulty attracting investment.

In the plots below, it appears that tree canopy loss is correlated with a neighborhood’s HOLC grade. More desirable areas experienced less percentage loss between 2008 and 2018, and they had more tree canopy to begin with.

Modelling and Validation

Correlation Plot

To select a set of variables for our model, we make a correlation plot.

corrplotvars <- FinalFishnet %>%
   dplyr::select(ConservationPct, pctLoss, pctGain, pctCoverage08, LogPctLoss, LogPctGain, population, medHHInc, housing_units, Rent, pctBach, pctWhite, pctNoVehicle, HydrologyArea, LogAvgParcelSize, e311Count, countConst, pctRes, pctTrans) %>%

         tree_canopy = pctCoverage08,

         percent_loss = pctLoss)

numericVars <-
  select_if(st_drop_geometry(corrplotvars), is.numeric) %>% na.omit()

ggcorrplot(

Based on this plot, we select the following variables for our model:

• Percent tree canopy coverage 2018
  
• Parcel size (Log average)
  
• Construction distance (Average nearest neighbor)
  
• Poles (Log)
  
• Neighborhood name
• Construction permits (Count)
  
• 311 Requests (Log)
  
• Percent residential land use (Log)
  
• Percent transportation land use (Log)
  
• HOLC redlining grade
  
• Hydrology (%)
